St. Augustine, Florida — widely regarded as one of the most haunted cities in the nation — has no shortage of ghostly tales and chilling encounters. With a rich history dating back to 1565, the nation's oldest city has seen centuries of tragedy, war, and untimely deaths, leaving behind restless spirits and a plethora of haunted locations. Now, Seaside Adventures is thrilled to offer a brand-new ghost tour that allows you to experience the city's haunted past in a completely unique and immersive way. What sets our ghost tour apart from the rest? Glad you asked! Here's why you should hop aboard our open-air electric Moke for a chilling adventure like no other. A Private Experience Just for You Unlike traditional walking ghost tours that are open to large groups of strangers, our ghost tour is completely private — meaning it's just you and your group of up to five people. This allows for a more personalized and intimate experience where you can ask questions, share your own ghost stories, or simply take in the eerie atmosphere without distraction. Comfort and Convenience One of the biggest advantages of our ghost tour is that it's a driving tour, which means no long walks in the Florida heat or struggling to keep up with a large group. Your tour guide will chauffeur you from one haunted location to the next in our all-electric open-air Moke, ensuring you stay comfortable while covering more haunted territory in less time. This is especially perfect for guests with mobility concerns or those who simply want a more laid-back ghost-hunting experience. Immersive Experience with Two-Way Headsets To make sure you don’t miss a single spooky detail, we provide all of our guests with two-way headset communicators. This allows you to easily hear your guide as they share bone-chilling tales about each location — no straining to hear or missing any part of the story. Better yet, it also allows you to interact with your guide, ask questions, make comments, or even share your own paranormal experiences along the way. Hands-On Ghost Hunting with EMF Meters Ever wondered if you'd be able to detect paranormal activity yourself? We’ve got you covered! During the tour, we’ll provide each group with EMF (Electromagnetic Field) meters, the same type of equipment that paranormal investigators use to detect spiritual energy. As you approach some of the city's most haunted sites, keep an eye on the meter — you never know when you might have an uninvited guest nearby. The Ultimate Ghost Tour Route Unlike walking tours where you often have to choose just a few haunted spots to visit, our driving tour covers all the major haunted hotspots in St. Augustine. Along the way, you'll visit: Huguenot Cemetery – Final resting place of yellow fever victims and restless spirits. Tolomato Cemetery – One of the oldest cemeteries in the city with countless ghost sightings. Flagler College – Formerly the Ponce de Leon Hotel, where ghostly apparitions of former guests still roam. Spanish Military Hospital – A site filled with stories of lingering spirits and mysterious occurrences. St. Augustine Lighthouse – Famous for its ghostly history and tragic tales. Castillo de San Marcos – The iconic fort that still houses the spirits of soldiers and prisoners. The Old City Gates – Many visitors claim to have encountered ghostly figures here at night. While our tour does not go inside any buildings, you’ll have the opportunity to step onto haunted grounds and feel the energy for yourself. You never know when a spirit might decide to make itself known! Pet-Friendly Tours Have a well-behaved pup that wants in on the fun? No problem! Our tours are pet-friendly, so your four-legged friend is welcome to join in on the ghostly adventure. After all, who knows — they might just pick up on a presence that we can't see. Local Guides with Personal Stories What makes this tour even more special is that our guides aren't just reading from a script — they grew up in the area and have heard these chilling tales passed down for generations. In fact, many of our guides have their own first-hand paranormal experiences from around St. Augustine, and they’re happy to share their own eerie encounters along the way. Ready for a Frightfully Fun Night? If you're looking for a private, immersive, and unforgettable ghost tour experience in St. Augustine, this is the one for you. Whether you’re a paranormal enthusiast, a curious skeptic, or just looking for a thrilling evening, Seaside Adventures will deliver a night you'll never forget. Don’t wait — spots for our private ghost tours fill up quickly! Book your haunting adventure today and get ready to come face-to-face with the spirits of St. Augustine.
